Top 6 Tips To Pinterest Marketing Success

Top 6 Tips To Pinterest Marketing Success

Social networking sites have grown tremendously in recent years, so now it is more important than ever to make sure that you are up to date. Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn are among the giants when it comes to social media, but that doesn’t mean other social networking sites aren’t making a name for themselves. Pinterest is rapidly emerging as one of the top contenders when it comes to social networking, and even though it has only been active for a few years, it has the potential to expose your content to over 70 million users. If you want to expose your business, then you can’t afford to ignore the many features that Pinterest has to offer.

Pin Your Content

It doesn’t matter how you promote your products. Whether you use video, PDF, e-books or even blog posts, you have to pin your content if you want it to be public. Continuous pins will show your users what you are all about, and other users will most likely have an interest in you if you depict yourself as an expert in your chosen field. You will also find that whenever an article is pinned, a back-link is created from the website to the content itself. In other words, you are not only creating a continuous stream of traffic, you are also dramatically increasing your back-link count which will help with your SEO.

Be Creative

When you post content to Pinterest, you need to make sure that it is reflective of your chosen niche. You also need to make sure that it has a spark of originality. If you are sharing to a local crowd, then share your opinions on events, or places of interest in that area. If you are looking at an international audience, then include facts about your niche, statistics, or other interesting information that will be of interest to your followers.

Add Pinterest to Your Website

Pinterest has a large number of interesting tools that you should be using to your advantage. Some of them can even be installed onto your website, further increasing your Pinterest followers. We all want to increase our follower counts, be sure to include “Follow me on Pinterest” and “Pin it” buttons. Pinterest allows you to obtain these buttons with ease. Simply go to Pinterest for business, click on the “Tools” tab, and finally click on “Pin it button”.

Combining Pinterest and Facebook

Cross-promoting is one of the best ways to get your name out as a company or industry professional. It doesn’t matter whether you own a corporate organisation or a small to medium business, cross-promoting remains to be one of the most effective forms of social media marketing. There are many apps which allow you to integrate Pinterest and Facebook. This will allow your Facebook fans to also follow you on other social media platforms, furthering your reach as well as promoting your business on multiple levels.

Get Your Pins To Appear In Search Results

If you want your pins to appear in search results, then you need to make sure you are using the official “Pin it” button. As mentioned above, you can find this on the Pinterest website. The more Pinners that add content from your website, the more credibility you will establish as a user, in turn increasing your chances of showing up in the major search engines. Make sure that you also pre-fill the suggested descriptions with information and hash tags that are relevant to your website, as this will further your credibility as both a business and as a Pinterest user.

Use community Boards

Community Boards remain one of the most potent and fastest ways to increase your reach. Simply search for terms in your niche and find community boards you can request an invite to. Here is one of my favourite boards.

If social media was an important niche for you, this is an excellent board to gain an invite too. Once your invite request has been accepted by the creator of any community board, the board appears on your profile. You can then pin content to these boards, be careful to abide by any rules the creator of these boards sets or you risk being removed from these boards.

There are many imposters in the social media space, claiming that they are the expert and can deliver the results, however many fall short in their own success, let alone achieving that for their clients. Adam, doesn't just talk the talk, he blazes a trail. Achieving phenomenal results in a very short time, he is the LinkedIn expert and social media guru. Not using him, means you are leaving results and money on the table. Can't recommend him highly enough, he is the ultiamte guide if you are wanting to be seen as the go to person in your industry.

There is no one I trust more when it comes to social media; Adam is the guru. He continues to prove that any small business can stand out online with a clear social media strategy. Whatever capacity you work with Adam - whether it is his free LinkedIn course, his book the Social Media Secret Sauce or his 12 month program - he will become an asset to your business. I can't speak highly enough of him and his work in helping not only mine but thousands of other small businesses.

If ever there was a LinkedIn dummy, it was me. Nothing I did worked. No one liked me. No one commented on my well thought out posts. No matter how hard I tried, the curtains would not part to reveal the secret of how to get noticed with my small business on LinkedIn. Then I took Adam Houlahan's LinkedIn Influencer course. He has a 'Like this Do that' teaching style, a style that takes you through the learning in a practical, step-by-step process. Adam pulled back the LinkedIn curtains, revealing the actions that will get you into LinkedIn jail. Now I know what not to do anymore. And my business is finally getting noticed. Thank you Adam.

Adam's knowledge, expertise and advice about LinkedIn specifically and social media strategy more broadly, is unparalleled. Whilst his book, The LinkedIn Playbook, might be a slim volume, it is a rich goldmine of relevant, targeted information which has helped to clarify and crystalize my own thinking and approach to the often overwhelming volume of 'stuff' and range of head-spinning options available to keep one confused. I keep referring to my 'LinkedIn Bible' again and again - to clarify, consolidate and fine-tune my path through that particular marketing maze. Adam, his specialist knowledge, his expertise, and his personable approach, come to you with my highest personal and professional recommendation.

I dialled into Adam's webinar "LinkedIn Influencer Online Training LIVE" and cannot recommend it highly enough! The information was presented in a clear and concise manner with excellent real world examples. The key messages have simple actions which can be implemented right away. It was both informative & practical. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

Very happy with our website that was designed and delivered by Five by Five. Project delivery processes were very impressive! Jon, Carla and the entire team was very helpful throughout the project and accommodated every little request. Highly recommend them for website development for any businesses. :)

I have worked with Jon and the FivebyFive team on many website projects. My experience with FivebyFive has shown their approach to website development balances creative design with a clear and structured process that ultimately results in a product clients feel happy with. Where challenges arise, they have been open to feedback and willing to do what's required to make sure the client's specific needs and objectives are met. I'm happy to recommend FivebyFive to any business owner wants their website to look great and perform well too.

This is our second site built by FiveByFive together with numerous landing pages. Jon, Carla, Sam and the team and the best in the business. We are always thrilled with the results, they built to budget and deliver on time. It's simply good for our business.

We had a great experience working with 5X5 on our recently completed web design project. Their knowledge and experience in design, web development and project management has resulted in a great end result that truly is a 'great looking, high performing website'! I have already recommended them to others. Thanks again Carla, Sam and Jon for your hard work and attention to detail.

5 stars for 5x5 seems quite fitting, though I would give 6 stars if I could! Jon, Carla and the rest of the 5x5 team have made the usually arduous task of creating a new website not just painless, but enjoyable. The whole team is professional and knowledgeable, they have excellent communication skills and were quick to turn around any request we threw at them. They also nailed the design of the new website on the first go, which was nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend these guys for any and all web design needs. I've already recommended them to another client. Thanks 5x5 team for the excellent work!

Jon and the Five by Five team are truly a one-of-a-kind organisation. Offering amazing communication, great attention to detail, and the rare ability to listen to exactly what you as a client are after and turn it into a reality; I cannot recommend them highly enough! Jon and his team always meet deadlines and their support team/desk provide extremely timely solutions to any and all issues that may arise. Most importantly, the websites that they produce are world-class!

Five by Five were a joy to work with. They really know their stuff and made the whole website redesign process seamless. Their care package is fantastic – they’re very responsive. Feedback on our new website has been very positive.

Great engagement from day 1. Five by Five are a highly professional team who ensure that no client moves on from their website design experience disappointed. Very prompt responses to all my requests for action. Delighted with the finished product. Highly complimentary reaction from clients, investors and business contacts about the website too which is great third party validation of Five by Five's work. They have delivered an excellent outcome for the investment made.

I worked with Five by Five over a couple of months to build a new website for Chief Maker. They were just superb on every level. Never missed a meeting, had the smoothest go-lives every time and communicated with a clarity I've never experienced in tech projects. And the site looked incredible and worked seamlessly. I used to outsource to cheap overseas operators and will never do that again after working with Five by Five.

We had such a great experience working with Jon, Carla, Sam and all the team at Five by Five. The process of redeveloping our website was made easy and efficient. They have such good systems in place that nothing was missed and all the details were covered, without me having to chase anything up. I've worked on previous website projects where it's been full of stress, but this was so different. These guys are brilliant - total pros!

The Team at Five By Five are awesome! Their communication is second to none, keeping me informed every step of the process and making updates very promptly. My communication was primarily with Carla who was an absolute delight to work with. Can't recommend Five by Five highly enough!

I've used the five by five team on two of my website projects and cannot fault them. Sam is a brilliant designer, Jon really knows his stuff and Carla is an amazing project manager. A highly professional team and I am so pleased with the finished product.

Loved working with 5x5 and really really love our new website. The team are very easy to deal with, nothing was ever a problem. I do like the systems 5x5 use which makes life so much easier on the client side. The post build support has also been fantastic, ensuring everything is working smoothly. Highly recommend!!

Working with the whole team at Five by Five, especially our project manager Carla, was a breeze. Super helpful, full of great ideas and really on the ball. We had a big project which had lots of moving parts and they were on top of everything the whole way through. They were able to advise the best route to go, in both usability and visually on the site, and recommend some great third-party companies to work with on other parts of the project, too. Highly, highly recommend Five by Five.

This is our one year anniversary of our website and while it's taken us a year (our fault!) to write this review, it says a lot that a year on, we still are so very grateful to 5x5 for helping us bring our website to life. As designers ourselves, we had a clear vision for how we wanted our website to look and behave. After comparing 3 web agencies across the country, it was Jon who won us over by video calling us to introduce himself in person and really listening to our needs. The entire team that we worked with made up of Jon, Carla, Sam are consummate professionals and we loved their super-organised approach and tools to facilitate the process. Thank you for building our design and making it world-class!
